Stoney Racing R53-0002 Silicone Air Intake Hose Kit – MINI Cooper S R52/R53
The Stoney Racing R53-0002 is a silicone replacement for the air intake hose on the MINI Cooper S R52/R53, 2000–2006.
It replaces the air intake hose that runs from the airbox to the supercharger. Each hose is built from 5-ply silicone with 4-ply polyester reinforcement, so it will not perish, swell or crack like ageing rubber hoses.
It is available in 7 colours and can be ordered with a full set of stainless worm-drive or stainless T-bolt clamps, or without clamps if you plan to reuse your originals.

Clamp Options
Stainless Worm-Drive clamps are fully stainless, so they will not rust, and they are easier to fit in tight spaces. A good choice if engine bay appearance matters.
Stainless T-Bolt clamps are the heaviest-duty option, ideal where maximum clamping force is wanted.
None lets you reuse your existing clamps. These hoses are slightly thicker than standard, so some original clamps may be too small.
Important Fitting Information
- The thicker 5.4mm wall stops the hose collapsing under heavy throttle or boost.
- Use washing-up liquid or a silicone-based lubricant when fitting. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
What's in the Box?
- 1 × Stoney Racing reinforced silicone hose in your chosen colour
- Full clamp set in your chosen style (if selected)
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit a One or Cooper?
No. It is for the supercharged Cooper S R52/R53 only.
Why is the wall thicker than a coolant hose?
The 5.4mm, 5-ply construction stops the hose collapsing under boost.
Which clamps should I choose?
Stainless worm-drive clamps are easy to fit and will not rust. T-bolt clamps give the most clamping force, which is ideal on intake hoses. Spring clips are not offered for this kit.
What warranty do I get?
Stoney Racing silicone hoses carry a 3-year warranty.
